My Contributions

I first interned at Isopod Labs and then became full time after graduating from the Art Institute of Los Angeles. During my time there I worked on an unannounced title and then on Jimmie Johnson’s Racing, a Mario Kart-esque racing game. I was a Designer on the title and my contributions included:

• Track Design: Starting with running team brainstorms and paper sketches, to building and iterating a grey-box track, to unwrapping the final design and handing off to the art team.

• Gameplay Features: Worked with programmers to implement and tune various gameplay ideas, including;

  • New Gameplay Modes (Endurance, Time Attack, Elimination)

  • Car Attributes

  • Leveling System

  • In Race Badges

  • Weapons and Boost

  • In Race Obstacles and Traps

• Designed UI and Menu systems

• Created the Single Player Career mode progression and difficulty
